Here is a Visual Basic .bas module I wrote on May 31, 2006 containing 12 functions I've found to be very useful when dealing with VB KeyAscii and KeyCode values. I use this module extensively in my VB KeyAscii & KeyCode Finder program.
This is a list I compiled which contains every possible KeyCode that Visual Basic can detect. A KeyCode is different than a KeyAscii value. A KeyCode can be thought of as an individual key on your keyboard. Every key on your keyboard has it's own unique KeyCode value. Keys that share values such as 1 and ! have the same KeyCode value because they are physically the same key. KeyCodes can range in value from 0 to 255. If you're looking for other charts, I also have a KeyAscii chart, a KeyCode Constants Chart and a downloadable program called KeyAscii & KeyCode Finder that can tell you the KeyAscii and KeyCode value for any character.
Here is a chart I put together which shows all possible Visual Basic KeyAscii values along with the character which they represent. VB KeyAscii values can range from 0 to 255. To type out any of these characters without pressing the actual character you can hold down the left ALT key on your keyboard and use the number pad on the right of your keyboard to type in the corresponding ASCII value. For instance, typing ALT+66 will yield B. For numbers above 127 use "0 + the number". For instance to find the character which corresponds to KeyAscii value 134 you would type ALT+0134 which yields †. I also have a VB KeyCode chart, a VB KeyCode Constants Chart and a seperate program I've written called VB KeyAscii & KeyCode Finder that can tell you the KeyAscii and KeyCode value for any character.
